Written three years before his death, The Undiscovered Self
combines acuity with concision in masterly fashion and is Jung at
his very best. Offering clear and crisp insights into some of his
major theories, such as the duality of human nature, the
unconscious, human instinct and spirituality, Jung warns against
the threats of totalitarianism and political and social propaganda
to the free-thinking individual. As timely now as when it was first
written, Jung's vision is a salutary reminder of why we should not
become passive members of the herd. With a new foreword by Sonu
Shamdasani.

In 1935 Jung gave a now famous and controversial course of five
lectures at the Tavistock Clinic in London. In them he presents, in
lucid and compelling fashion, his theory of the mind and the
methods he had used to arrive at his conclusions: dream analysis,
word association and 'active imagination.' Immediately accessible
to the general reader, the Tavistock lectures are a superb
introduction to anyone coming to Jung's psychology for the first
time and crucial for understanding analytical psychology. A
fascinating feature of the book is the inclusion of some of the
questions posed to Jung at the end of each lecture. These
questions, including those from leading psychoanalysts such as
Wilfrid Bion, and the discussions that follow offer an outstanding
example of a great thinker at the peak of their powers. Also
amongst the audience was Samuel Beckett, who was deeply affected by
what Jung had to say. With a new foreword by Kevin Lu

This collection of 15 essays on various aspects of the problem of
evil brings together the opinions of well known authors from
various disciplines [philosophy, theology, literary criticism,
political science, etc]. This collection brings together a variety
of responses to the ancient questions of whether we are --
individually and collectively -- destined for evil. The history of
the previous century brought this question into the open
morepoignantly than perhaps any other before it. Not surprisingly,
then, what you will find here is a wide spectrum of opinions
concerning the mystery of evil formulated throughout the twentieth
century and at the very threshold of the twenty-first, which has
inherited all of its open wounds and nightmarish memories. The
pieces included here come from diverse fields: philosophy,
religious studies, psychology, history, political science, and art;
they also assume a variety of forms: essays, treatises, stories,
correspondence, and interviews. The reader should not expect that
the pieces collected here offer proven recipes of how to eliminate
evil from the world: rather, they present a compelling testimony of
human struggles with an aspect of our lives we cannot afford to
ignore. Contributors: Sharon Anderson-Gold, Hannah Arendt, Gil

El secreto de la Flor de Oro es una obra taoista china sobre
meditacion, que fue traducida por Richard Wilhelm. Wilhelm era
amigo del psicologo Carl Gustav Jung. A pesar de la diversidad de
impresiones, interpretacion y opinion expresadas por Wilhelm y
Jung, la tecnica de meditacion descrita en El Secreto de la Flor De
oro es una tecnica sencilla, silenciosa (la descripcion del libro
de meditacion ha sido caracterizada como Zen con detalles). La
tecnica de meditacion, enunciada en lenguaje poetico, se reduce a
una formula sobre la postura, la respiracion y la contemplacion. La
postura principalmente se relaciona con una posicion recta. El
camino de la energia asociado con la respiracion ha sido descrito
como semejante a una rueda interna alineada verticalmente con la
columna vertebral. Cuando la respiracion es constante, la rueda
gira hacia adelante, con la energia vital aumentando en la espalda
y descendiendo en el frente. Malos habitos de respiracion (o mala
postura, o incluso malos pensamientos) pueden ocasionar que la
rueda no gire, o retroceda, inhibiendo la circulacion de la energia
vital esencial. En contemplacion, se observan los pensamientos como
van surgiendo y retrocediendo.
"These compact vigorous essays constitute Dr. Jung's most sustained
interpretation of the religious function in individual
experience."-Journal of Social Philosophy "This psychological study
of religion is particularly interesting in the light of current
social and political movements throughout the world."-The
Personalist Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, author of some of the most
provocative hypotheses in modern psychology, describes what he
regards as an authentic religious function in the unconscious mind.
Using a wealth of material from ancient and medieval gnostic,
alchemistic, and occultistic literature, he discusses the religious
symbolism of unconscious processes and the possible continuity of
religious forms that have appeared and reappeared through the
centuries.
